Thurs Morning - Pair of jacks - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I paddled out with Matt F on Thursday. Surf was small but there was a ton of wind chop. Got out and metered some bait but couldn't get anything to bite. I kept hearing whales in the dark and as soon as it got light, I could see at least 3 or 4 of them coming up. The current was pulling pretty hard from North to South, so we had to keep cruising up hill to get back on the fish. Matt hooked me up with some frozen squid and I sent it down on a dropper loop, only to get destroyed by mackerel. We moved a little deeper and sent another piece to the bottom. peck peck ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz First one had the line wrapped around his neck making for an interesting fight. Right after I landed it, I sent another piece of squid back down and got bit instantly. Second fish came up nice and easy.

Thanks for the bait Matt. Good luck this weekend! Congrats.
